Artist Statement
My work is rooted in a deep appreciation for light, atmosphere, and the poetry of everyday spaces. Inspired by the urban landscape, interiors, and highways, I seek to capture moments that might otherwise be overlooked—transforming the ordinary into something luminous and evocative.
Drawing from influences like Richard Diebenkorn, Wayne Thiebaud, Fairfield Porter, and Alex Katz, I explore the balance between representation and abstraction, using color and composition to create depth and mood. Giorgio Morandi and Edward Hopper have also shaped my approach, teaching me the power of simplification and stillness in painting. My brushstrokes are deliberate yet fluid, reflecting both technical discipline and a love for the physicality of paint itself.
As a curator and painter, my goal is to engage the viewer in a dialogue between perception and emotion, inviting them into the quiet yet powerful atmospheres I create. Each piece is an invitation to pause, look closer, and experience the world through my lens—where realism meets personal vision, and where every scene holds a story waiting to be felt.
